Chapter 326 Thirteen Sweethearts

Chi Jiang Nayue had kept the little secret between himself and the organization very carefully, and with Sharon's cooperation and his parents' trust in him, he was able to keep it a secret for so many years.

His parents were the people who cared about him the most in the world, so Chi Jiang Na Yue knew that they must have discovered that his experience was terrible, but they had never mentioned it to him, and were only waiting for him to figure it out one day and explain it to him in person.

Among them, Akae Yu probably thought from the bottom of his heart that his child was a cute, healing and sunny little angel. This was also due to Akae's serious social status before graduating from elementary school. As a result, Cherry Brandy, who was very good at seeing through people's hearts, left a completely "wrong impression" of his son.

Akae Nazuki and Akae Seigo, the adoptive father and son, are aware of Seigo's knowledge of the former's secret identity, and they both pretend that Seigo himself does not know, when in fact Seigo is well aware of what an arrogant little devil his son is.

However, although Qingwu complained to his wife, he had no objection in his heart.

"Speak of it."

After the barrier between the driver's seat and the rear was raised, Akae Seigo suddenly spoke up: "The day we first met, I thought Yu-chan had bought a doll from outside."

There was a little boy sitting in his arms, so he could only use one hand to protect his son from falling, and used the other hand to measure the size in front of him: "Remember? You were only this small, short and small, and you didn't even blink when you were held in Yu-chan's arms."

The scene of that day also appeared in Chijiang Nayue's mind, and the corners of his mouth curled up subconsciously.

At that time, he had no memory of two months ago. He only remembered how badly he was treated in the research institute and how relaxed he felt when Sharon was with him. So at that time, he was actually dependent on that woman to an extent that ordinary people could not imagine.

Until that day, he was held by the hand by Sharon with a complicated expression and left outside the door of a villa.

"I bless you, my boy." The woman in a black dress and a black veil raised her hand and gently stroked his cheek for the last time, as if she was attending a funeral. "Stay here, you will have a home."

Then he realized that Sharon was not dressing up to attend the funeral, but to say goodbye to him, even though they would go on a mission together under Karasuma Renya's order later.

He didn't want to separate from Sharon, but he wouldn't refuse her request either, so he stood there and watched the extremely important person in his life leave.

The scene that Akae Seigo described was exactly when he was just brought back from outside the door and was thinking in the other person's arms.

Akae Nayue knew that Akae You was not actually planning to adopt him at first. She just couldn't bear to see a thinly dressed boy standing outside the door in the cold weather, so she wanted to let him in to have a cup of tea and then send him to the Metropolitan Police Department to find his parents.

But he also knew that he didn't have parents at all, and was even an illegal resident in this world. His only way was to find a way to stay in this house. He looked up at Akae Yu's golden hair, and after thinking for a few minutes, he obediently called her "Mom" in front of Akae Seigo.

It is hard to tell whether Akae Yu's maternal instinct was aroused by the word "Mom" or she really felt that the child in front of her was very much in line with her eyes. After the call came out, she temporarily ignored her husband's shocked and aggrieved look, and pondered very seriously for a while.

"You have nowhere to go? Is that so?" Akae Yu's hands were warm, and they gently held him, bringing him a warmth that was completely different from Sharon's. "Then, do you want to stay at my house?"

She lowered her head and looked into the eyes of the boy who raised his head in her arms. Her blue eyes, which were lighter than Akae Seigo's, were full of seriousness and expectation, proving that she had indeed made the decision after careful consideration and would not regret it the next time.

Chi Jiang Na Yue's choice was also very simple. He just looked into those eyes and then called out softly, "Mom."

So that place became his home, he had a name, and a pair of parents who truly loved him.

That day was March 17th, the first day he was picked up by Dazai Osamu in Yokohama, and also the first day he was taken home by Akae Yuu who was out to gain his trust. Later, when Akae Seigo who was preparing to register his household registration asked him when his birthday was, Akae Nazuki gave the only answer without hesitation: [March 17th].

"Although it is indeed a bit childish." Qingwu smiled awkwardly, "But you should also know that, right? At first, I couldn't accept the life of having another child in the family... There is nothing I can do about it."

After all, he was an undercover agent, and it was natural for him and his wife to remarry because they were both undercover agents in the organization. It was already risky, and then adopting a child? So was he undercover or just playing house?

Not to mention, this is a kid who is competing with him for his wife's attention!

The reason why Akae Seigo resisted adopting Akae Nayue was not because he hated the child - who would hate a quiet and cute child who was actually five years old but looked as skinny as three or four years old?

This is only because he was afraid of dragging the innocent child into the organization's affairs and afraid that his wife's undercover identity would be suspected... But the fact is that he has long faced this matter calmly, accepted and loved his child.

"In short, even now you always like to say bad things about me in front of your mother, and always put stewed radish in my lunch box, and tell your mother that it was me who did something bad..." The more Akae Seigo spoke, the more he couldn't help but sneer, and then he ruffled the boy's hair without any hesitation, "Even if you are an out-and-out little bad boy, I, your father, am the only one in this world who can bully you."

"So, go ahead."

Akae Seigo leaned over and poked his son's tender face with his stubble, and asked sinisterly, "Who bullied my son when I wasn't paying attention?"

He had no opinion on his son's current personality because he had seen how quiet and silent the child was when he first came to their home, and he had seen the scars on the child's body and the empty, confused eyes.

Therefore, the reason why this little bad boy can be so arrogant and play such a prank on him is entirely because he and You have been lovingly raising him for the past five years. Their love has changed this child, and they can only feel happy about it!

Akae Seigo knew his son very well. How could the little bad boy normally hug him and cry? Even when Yuu-chan was injured during the mission and was found in the hospital by the child, he only shed a few tears.

What could have caused this little rascal who "puts mom first" to cry silently like that? Look, his nose is still red, his eyes are red, and there are still some wet marks on the side of his face where the stubble has rubbed against him.

Akae Seigo was really a little angry. It was one thing that he respected his son's secret and therefore never asked, but it was another thing that his son was inexplicably bullied outside. Even though his reason told him that no one was powerful enough to bully this little rascal, his emotion as a father completely overwhelmed his reason.

Akae Seigo would not be like the fool who could not control his murderous intent, but Akae Nayue's perception was sharper than he thought, so he discovered his father's angry state at this time.

Akajiang Nayue felt very happy, but she raised her hand and slapped Akajiang Qingwu on the face again, and pushed away this guy who had been busy for who knows how many days, had not even shaved his stubble but was still spraying perfume like a slut.

"Who can bully me? No one." He complained, completely relaxed in front of his father, "It's just a nightmare."

...More or less. Anyway, for a ten-year-old like him, a future destined to lose his parents was indeed a terrifying nightmare.

Although he was surprised by this answer, Qingwu couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Well, looks like we can order a big meal tonight and take it home! Just as a celebration for our family, aka finally reaching an agreement with our peers. Is this the first time you've cried because of a nightmare?" he teased the child in a naughty way.

Chi Jiang Na Yue felt that her happiness had disappeared without a trace.

I'm so upset, Qingwu!

—

"First of all, I didn't cry. It was just that my eyes were irritated when I fell and I secreted too many tears..."

"Are you sure you want to use the term to defend yourself?"

"…I already said that it wasn't crying, it was just physiological tears."

When Zhen Ping regained consciousness, he vaguely heard two voices that were about to quarrel.

"Don't worry, we won't laugh at you." One of the voices that sounded very similar to his own said sarcastically, "Now you're still crying because you fell from such a low height, and you couldn't control your tears after meeting your uncle and aunt. Don't you think the former is more shameful?"

Akae Nagetsu gnashed his back teeth. Under normal circumstances, as he had matured after turning 28 (so he thought), he would definitely not start arguing with Matsuda Jinpei in such a childish way. But now he was using the body of a 10-year-old, which was why he cried so pitifully on Seigo's shoulder before.

I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but his emotions now are much more intense than when he was actually ten years old.

They stopped jokingly bickering and quickly changed the topic.

"During this period, that woman has been contacting you regularly, right?" Furuya Rei said, holding his chin in his hand. "We need to discuss how to respond if we hear from her again before we can save the past."

The person referred to here is of course the boss of the organization who issued the mission to Akajinazuki through Vermode.

"As for that, you don't have to worry about it for a while."

Akae Nazuki himself took it well. He waved his hand nonchalantly, "Qingwu must have just returned from a mission, so he didn't even wear a disguise. Usually the old man only comes to me during their missions, so I can get some 'rest time' next."

He said it lightly, but the listener knew how heavy it was. However, they had already developed a tacit understanding, so the others avoided talking about it.

Some things have already become scars and scabs, and now even the scabs have fallen off, why are they rushing to poke at them? Such behavior will really make Aka embarrassed.

"I'll go down first." After saying that, Akajina stood up and calmly walked out the door. "I'll leave the explanation to you guys - I'll go rescue Qingwu."

After he told Akae Yu, who did not go out today, about the group of little radishes he had picked up, his beautiful mother was happier than Kiyoshi. She rolled up her sleeves and rushed into the kitchen, saying that she wanted to show his new friends the motherly love that "her little angel" could usually have.

Chi Jiangnayue felt that if he didn't go there, Qingwu would not be able to stop his mother.

He couldn't help but shudder: If Youjiang's cooking is a display of maternal love, then this maternal love is a little too heavy.

At this moment, Chijiang Nayue was walking on the stairs of his home. He didn't think about the bad future, nor about anything related to the organization. He was just thinking about the good past in his memory. He walked briskly like a real ten-year-old boy, and couldn't help but smile when he recalled interesting things.

…

Then he heard a long-lost, familiar explosion from downstairs.

Two guardian sweethearts who had the explosion sound engraved in their DNA rushed out of the reception room that they had just left. Their friends were full of alarm and shock: "Where did the explosion happen!?"

Chijiang Nayue stopped on the stairs, turned her head, and slowly raised a smile with a completely dead look in her eyes towards them.

“Our kitchen.”

Mom, it’s been ten years since we last met, and your pinpoint blasting skills are still as excellent as ever.
